Miner and stock broker Glencore has shown interest in iron reserves in Guinea, a discussion obtained by Reuters reveals, while the corporation said it had not pitched for a share in Simandou, the nation’s biggest reserve.

Any prospective traders in Simandou are expressing caution, nonetheless.

Israeli-owned BSG Resources, which had been stripped of their license to construct part of Simandou following a Guinean fraud inquiry, is looking for settlement and has threatened to sue firms that purchase its former permit area.

Several sources close to the govt said United Kingdom-listed Glencore had indicated its desire for purchasing some of Simandou, in a meeting with govt authorities in Conakry in June.

A duplicate of a power point slideshow, which the sources stated a Glencore representative delivered at the meeting, includes a reference to Glencore owning the financial and industry capability to build big ventures in the region and «the determination to continue very swiftly along with the govt to the exploitation phase of iron ore projects».

A spokesperson for Glencore denied to state whether any slideshow was delivered to officials or to discuss the file received by Reuters. But he stated the company hadn’t produced any presentation indicating interest in the Simandou mine.

The presentation does state that Glencore would be well placed to cooperate with other companies that hold interests in Simandou, such as Vale and Rio Tinto and says that Glencore might push the competition to develop infrastructure in Guinea more quickly.
